Very helpful for Dell laptops
07/23/2015

Pros: With this cable, my Dell laptop (which features only an HDMI port) can now speak to my flat panel monitor. It also recognizes its somewhat odd optimal resolution and communicates that to the laptop's video adapter.

Need the software for playback
07/23/2015

Pros: The drive works just as you would expect. It was simple to install, and I appreciate the use of the newer power and data connector; this let me get rid of my last parallel cable!

Cons: I thought my long experience with tech would mean I could figure out free playback software with VLC. I did not succeed. I acquired and installed CyberLink PowerDVD 11 Ultra (version 15 is current), and BluRay playback worked just fine.

Intermittent drive failure after two weeks
02/19/2015

Pros: Drive is compact, and installation is very straightforward. Performance was quick, but I wouldn't have called the speed miraculous. Customer service responded within 24 hours of my email report of drive failure. Hopefully its replacement will go smoothly.

Cons: I began experiencing intermittent drive failures two weeks into my ownership. The drive would fail to awaken when the computer had been asleep, or the drive would not be enumerated by the BIOS at boot time (since it's my boot drive, I couldn't get into the operating system).

Other Thoughts: I worry that the replacement will fail unexpectedly, given that others have also had problems with this model.
